Godfrey Owen 42/12 Vase

Bred by Margaret Owen, and named after her late husband, Godfrey Owen, this ruffled iris has been stylised to extenuate its audacious persona. Margaret was the instigator of the successful ‘Acton Pigott’ (the name of their home) Open Days, holding the first one in 1980. It is said, that this iris had a sweet lemon aroma, and the frilly flower with pale lemon standards and white falls, edged with zesty lemon, has been delicately transformed under glaze.

Framed under the ridge of the vase with entwined sword-shaped leaves, the beards, tufts of hairs on the lower petals that give these Irises their name, allow rays of bright yellow to dart from the rimmed central bloom to the foot of the vase itself amid a cluster of smaller blooms.
